Jay520 said: That's what I'm saying. If a person's personality is completely dependent upon those factors, then what makes any person different from another? When we make decisions, are we 'making' decisions, or are our brains just performing outputs based upon external stimuli that any other human would make when met with the same circumstances? Did you choose to post a comment or is your brain simply apart of a strict function with no possible way of performing a different output? Well, of course you chose to post the comment because your want to post overcame your need to use the restroom. But do you ultimately control your want to post or need to go to the restroom? I don't know where I'm going with this, I just thought it was an interesting topic & was interested in others' opinions |
I think adding physiological functions/needs only complicates this discussion needlessly.
